Score
China 1 appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 18, 2026. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near six violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Cross City restaurants. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
